The Kite Rider

This book is about a boy named Haoyou who flies on a kite to try to talk to his father in the heavens. Later, he joins the circus with his cousin, mipeng and entertains the audience. Eventually they perform in front of the Kublai Khan because they get so famous but his really mean and fat uncle Bo comes and takes all his money. Then, Mipeng marries the circus manager and haoyou goes back home to his little sister and mother. I wouldn't recommend this book because it is kind of boring but the story-line is original.
